If you’re looking to improve your sex life and enhance your orgasms, you might want to consider a new workout routine. Yeah, you’ve read that right \u2013 there are exercises for better sex that can help you take your lovemaking to the next level.<\/span><\/p>\n

We all know that working out is good for our overall health and wellbeing. However, not enough people know that certain exercises can also be great for our sexual performance. Research shows that physical activity can<\/span> help men who struggle with erectile dysfunction<\/span><\/a>. There is also evidence that exercise can <\/span>help increase libido<\/span><\/a> and sexual satisfaction in women.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also,<\/span> working out helps build bodily awareness<\/span><\/a>, which is an essential part of having great sex because when we have better body awareness, we feel all the sensations happening in our bodies and experience pleasure much better.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that you know why exercise is good for sexual satisfaction, let’s talk about what are the best forms of exercise for better sex so you can create a workout routine that works for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Improve Your Cardiovascular Health with Aerobic Exercise<\/span><\/h2>\n

First of all, one of the most important exercises for sex is cardio. Our cardiovascular health is crucial for better sex because it encompasses two essential components of sex: vaginal lubrication and penis erections. <\/span><\/p>\n

A healthy cardiovascular system ensures that you have sufficient blood flow to your genitals during sex.<\/span> Research shows<\/span><\/a> that aerobic exercise itself can be pleasurable for some people.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what’s the best way to improve your cardiovascular health? Any and all aerobic exercises work. It can be things like running, swimming, hiking, cycling, dancing, jumping rope, or rowing. Anything that gets your heart pumping works.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harvard Health<\/span><\/a> recommends 150 minutes of aerobic exercise per week for the average adult. That’s 2.5 hours in one go, or you can break it down into 30 minutes five times per week or 20 minutes of daily aerobic activity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Strengthen Your Core with Pilates<\/span><\/h2>\n

The core might be one of the most important muscle groups in our body. A stronger core helps us move more easily, balance our bodies, and have better sex. Strong core muscles also help alleviate back and hip pain, which might be an obstacle to better, more satisfying sex.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most popular core exercises is planks. Holding a plank engages all the core muscles, and it can be a great way to build a habit of working out and strengthening your core. However, one of the best forms of exercise to strengthen your core is actually Pilates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pilates<\/span><\/a> is a low-impact workout method that’s designed to improve mobility, build muscle, and strengthen the core by using only your body weight. It’s a form of exercise that requires no equipment (just a yoga mat), can be done at home, and is great for people who are new to fitness.<\/span><\/p>\n

A small study<\/span><\/a> published in the <\/span>Journal of Andrology <\/span><\/i>found that after 12 weeks of Pilates classes, women who previously reported sexual dysfunction saw a significant improvement in their sexual desire, experienced less pain during sex, and reported having more orgasms.<\/span><\/p>\n

A common misconception is that Pilates is very expensive. It can be if you’re taking in-person classes at expensive Pilates studios. However, it doesn’t have to be. You can find plenty of <\/span>Pilates classes<\/span><\/a> for all levels of fitness available online, for free or for a small monthly fee.<\/span><\/p>\n

Work On Your Flexibility & Mobility with Yoga<\/span><\/h2>\n

Practicing yoga regularly can also greatly improve your sex life. First of all,<\/span> yoga helps with flexibility and body mobility<\/span><\/a>, and being more flexible during sex can be a great thing. <\/span><\/p>\n

You might experience less muscle cramping and might be able to experiment with more different sex positions. By expanding your sex position repertoire, you might be able to find one that hits all the right spots in the best way possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another important benefit of yoga as an exercise for better sex is the psychological effects it has on us. <\/span>Yoga helps decrease stress, anxiety, and depression<\/span><\/a>, which can have a very positive effect on our sex drives. <\/span>Stress has a negative effect on sex drive and sexual satisfaction<\/span><\/a>, so finding ways to decrease stress (aka practicing yoga) can greatly improve our sex lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can find plenty of free yoga classes online, or you might want to join your local yoga studio if you prefer an in-person, community feel. Even doing yoga for 10 minutes a day to start with can make a huge difference. When you start feeling the positive effects, you’ll want to do it more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Train Your Pelvic Floor Muscles with Kegel Exercises<\/span><\/h2>\n

Approximately between <\/span>10% and 20% of women in the United States<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> 1 in 13 women in the United Kingdom<\/span><\/a> report experiencing pain during sex. It’s a fairly common issue people experience, and it can have a serious negative impact on their sex life and sexual satisfaction. <\/span>Research shows<\/span><\/a> that training pelvic floor muscles can help reduce pain during sex.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the best pelvic floor exercises for sex is the <\/span>Kegel exercises<\/span><\/a>. Kegels help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles for both men and women, which not only helps with painful intercourse but can improve your orgasms. Stronger pelvic muscles mean stronger, more reliable orgasms, and who doesn’t want that?<\/span><\/p>\n

You can do your Kegels multiple times per day, anytime and anywhere, with no equipment needed. Or, you might get Kegel balls like<\/span> LELO Beads<\/span><\/a> to make your exercises more fun and pleasurable.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"lelo<\/a><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n

A simple exercise routine can make a world’s difference when it comes to our sex lives and sexual satisfaction. The best part is that you don’t have to spend hours every day in the gym sweating until your legs are shaking \u2013 30 minutes up to an hour five times per week can be enough when you are intentional about choosing the best exercise to improve your sexual performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
